Please Read Installation Instructions Carefully.
- Remove old gasket by pulling out of groove
- Before installing a new gasket make sure groove is clean and dry
- Do not use any type of lubricant and make sure the screen is in place, smooth side facing toward you and leg down into inner groove, before installing the new gasket
- The part of the gasket that fits into the groove is the smaller, thinner part which is called the "leg"
- Start in between the two hinges by positioning the seam of the gasket over the outer groove of the window frame
- Work from this location toward the top right corner
- Guide entry of the leg of the gasket into the outer groove with your hand by bending the gasket out and away from the frame 90 deg
- Pushing down firmly at the 90 deg point with your index finger or thumb will seat the gasket into the groove
- Proceed slowly, seating 1/4" at a time
- As you work around the corners, slightly stretch the gasket so extra material doesn't cause a crease or a bump
- After seating the gasket around the first corner by hand, take the end of a wooden ruler or similar tool with a dull flat end and press down on top of the leg of the gasket to complete seating the first corner
- This is accomplished when the small ribs on the leg of the gasket are completely inserted into the groove
- Continue on to the following corners in the same manner until the gasket. is completely seated in the groove
- Seating the last corner will require slight stretching of the gasket
- If the gasket pulls out of the opposite corner, this indicates you need to go back to that corner and stretch the gasket a little more along with pushing it down into the groove further
- Take extra care to make sure the leg is completely seated near the hinges and latches
- The complete gasket should now be smooth and uniform
Installation Notes:
- These gaskets require some effort to install
- A tight installation assures a water tight seal
- You sent me the wrong gaskets !!!
- The gasket you took out of your port is flat
- The one you received is round and shaped funny
- All gaskets start out like this
- It's a matter of feeding the leg of the gasket into the groove in the frame.
- Tip from the field:
- Just before installing the gasket, carefully stretch / flex it a bit
- Start next to the seam holding the gasket between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, with about an inch of gasket between
- Give it a little stretch
- Work your way around the gasket
- Be careful not to pull on the seam or over stretch
- This flexes the rubber a bit (like stretching a balloon before blowing it up) removing the stiffness
- It also stretches it out temporarily just enough to make it fit better with almost no pull on the final corner
- Just before installing the gasket, carefully stretch / flex it a bit
